Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."For local backups, it has options to back up almost any storage. The back can be either a shared folder or anything you want, it's pretty flexible."
"The licensing model is very good."
"The pricing is fine."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details."
"The performance has been fine so far."
"It is fast and easy for an image-based backup across all platforms."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."
"Short backup window has made a difference in the way my organization functions."
"The most valuable features of Dell PowerProtect DD are ease of use and deduplication."
"Data Domain is an excellent repository that's compatible with a lot of different solutions. Even Veeam Backup recommends sending backup to Data Domain. Space optimization is great. Currently, it guarantees 50-to-1 compression of the application in the same device. In all these years, I never had a client who was unsatisfied with Data Domain. It is a solid appliance with VMware integration, instant access to restore and search, and analytics."
"The feature that I have found most useful is its data duplication."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the integrated deduplication function."
"The deduplication feature is the most valuable part of the solution."
"As our organization functions, we have a total of 2500+ primary sites and 6300+ secondary sites. All of our entire backup systems are totally dependent on this product. EMC Data Domain is very reliable and there are no issues using it since 2015."
"This solution has a feature called Domain Boost, which allows for source deduplication and compression."
"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."
"The whole product structure is confusing. You can actually get to do what you want to do. But Acronis seems to have a singular ability to make things difficult."
"We would always support better pricing."
"The backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement."
"The solution could use a single sign-on integration that can default to the admin dashboard. Right now, it's only username and password. If you had had an additional two-factor authentication, this would be beneficial for me."
"I would like to have more cybersecurity integration to properly round up the product and its offering. In terms of cybersecurity, if the offerings can be more versatile so that it is not just a backup solution, it would be great. Some addition to cybersecurity would really be helpful so that it becomes a kind of a suite of products. Backup and recovery form a part of the broader security strategy. Its integration with other cybersecurity solutions would provide proper visibility to not just your cybersecurity dashboard but also to all of your backups. You would have a pretty good view of the entire security landscape that you are managing."
"It would be nice if it could support more types of storage: EMC, HPE, Veeam, etc."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The software from Dell that can be used to operate Data Domain needs to have enhancements made to the user interface. It is too complex."
"The licensing is not cost-effective, and the pricing could be better."
"The pricing could be better, but it's still not too expensive."
"They need to make migration easier."
"When you use Data Domain, you have to have at least 20% free space so it can work properly. Sometimes we struggle with that, because we wanted to use all the free space, but then Data Domain becomes really slow. I understand that 20% is needed to process all the data, and doing the duplication and compression and all that, but it would be a big improvement if they did not require that 20%, because it is just too much to have available."
"The licensing model was the biggest concern for our company, but the poor support after the initial implementation is of equal concern."
"We are not able to deal directly with the OEM we have to go to their partners in Nigeria."
"The price of the product is high."
